Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Paraguay's copper scrap exports, accounting for 37.15% of value vs. 36.94% of weight, indicating balanced trade with no significant premium or bulk bias—suggesting stable demand for mid-grade material. China, the second-largest partner, shows a tighter 32.64% value share vs. 32.42% weight share, reinforcing its role as a consistent, mid-tier processor. The absence of extreme value-volume gaps across top destinations implies Paraguay’s export structure is cost-driven, prioritizing steady bulk flows over high-margin specialization. This points to a supply chain optimized for predictable, large-volume trade rather than niche premium markets.
